Abstract

The paper brings forth two original letters that were sent by Poljica count Matija Mijanović to the authorities of the city of Šibenik in 1801. The letters are found in the State Archives in Šibenik and are written in the Croatian language and the Cyrillic alphabet. The author transcribes the texts into the Latin alphabet and compares their structural characteristics, their language and their graphic and palaeographic features. The comparative analysis results in a series of analogies and differences between the texts and the author points out to the specific discursive properties resulting from the order of sending and the sender’s forethinking about the reception.

Keywords

Croatian Cyrillic alphabet; “poljičica”; western štokavian dialect; structure of the document
